Narrow stance, remaining tall from the left side of the box.  Average build form the 6-foot, 170 pounder who has some waggle in the bat head.  Bat head quiets to a consistent flat position at launch.  Average to above barrel awareness working level through the zone, staying gap-to-gap.  Fluid rhythm, produced an exit velocity of 80 mph.  Good footwork, paired with rhythm in the hands, transitions to a long arm action and high-3/4 slot.  Catches the ball with ease, working to play through the ball with balance.  Exchanges can be a little long.  Shows some accuracy with good carry.  Positional velocity peaked at 70 from first base.  Ran a 7.56 sixty.

Average tempo in the delivery with an average leg kick.  Stays tall through balance with the head tilting slightly after balance to the glove side.  Fastball has some run from the left side of the mound, sitting 71-74.  Quick, loose arm works to an over-the-top slot.  Change-up has some deception with decent hand speed.  Change has some arm side fade with feel of the zone at 66-69.  Breaking ball works with gradual downer action.  Good hard tilt, with a slight hump out of the hand.  Ranged 61-62 out of the hand.

Lanky, projectable body, with long limbs on a 5-foot-11, 170 pound frame.  Left handed hitter uses an athletic stance with a short stride.  Good approach leads to gap-to-gap BP rounds.  Swing gets a little long at times, but should shorten as strength is added to the lanky frame.  From first base, caught the ball with some athleticism, while the hands can tend to stop at ball strike.  Arm works with a long arm swing, to a high-3/4 slot, producing better than average carry.  Arm strength registered 70mph across the infield.  Ran the sixty in 8.31.  On the bump, the fastball reached 71, sitting 69-71.  Both curveball and change-up show promise.  The curveball touched 58 with 1/7 gradual break.  The change sat 63-64 with some arm side fade and deception.  Both off-speed pitches work with near fastball arm speed and show an ability to be in the zone.  Better than average arm speed with a long arm stroke work to a high-3/4 slot.  The head leaves the line early creating some effort in the torso, moving forward, allowing the arm to lag at times.  The front side works with a glove point and a choppy rhythm.  Little things that can be cleaned may allow for a higher upside in the near future.
